Other than Oracle do you think any other companies would be willing to take over support for a clustered 7410 appliance with 6 JBODs?

hi you have two issues here 1)one is the HW support 2)one is the SW support no one but oracle can provide SW support even if you find someone for HW support regards For Other you mentioned are all opensolaris fock, some does provide Gui but pricing model are very different AFAIK Nexenta is charged by raw capacity:-( Not sure these are in HW supoort business On 7/19/2012 5:38 AM, sol wrote:> Other than Oracle do you think any other companies would be willing to > take over support for a clustered 7410 appliance with 6 JBODs? > > (Some non-Oracle names which popped out of google: > Joyent/Coraid/Nexenta/Greenbytes/NAS/RackTop/EraStor/Illumos/???) > > > > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss-- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

NS supports clustering, etc.You would lose the fancy user interface and monitoring stuff that the Fishworks team developed for the product. It would no longer be an "appliance". No doubt, Nexenta has developed new cool stuff for NexentaStor. As others have said, only Oracle is capable of supporting the system as the original product. It could be re-installed to become something else.

On more fiddly issues they just had Sun work with us directly. I dont know how small a contract they do or if they even offer support outside of the UK but it could be worth a try there site is http://www.scc.com/ . There are probably other company''s that do 3rd party sun support too Ritchie -- <-- http://23.me.uk/2 --> <--Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. --> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
